A bear was put down after it got into a house in Simsbury Friday afternoon and ransacked it looking for food.
Simsbury police responded to the home on Old Canal Way a little before 1 p.m. after getting a call from the homeowner that the bear was inside.The homeowner told NBC Connecticut she came home Friday afternoon, walked into the house and came face-to-face with the bear as it ate an apple pie in her kitchen.She said the window on her back deck was open, and the bear broke through a screen to get in. She said the bear opened the kitchen cabinets and ransacked the house.
The agency urges people to prevent bears from accessing human-sourced food. According to the DEEP, once bears associate people and homes with food, they are more likely to enter homes and lose their natural fear of people.
